The 27-year-old, who is currently at Spurs after joining on loan from Manchester City, has played for six clubs in the last ten years – a fact that is not as unusual as it sounds, according to Adebayor.

He told the Independent: ‘All the best players travel a lot. Ronaldinho travelled a lot, Robinho travelled a lot. Ronaldo, the big (Brazilian) Ronaldo, was a big star and he travelled a lot. So it doesn’t bother me at all.

Adebayor received a lot of abuse for leaving his first English club, Arsenal, for a big-money switch to City – but he said he had no problem making the decision.

‘Leaving a club is the easiest thing for me to do. Especially when the club wants you out. I will just leave, as I have proved. Arsenal wanted me out. I left the club.

‘As soon as another club want me, and my club want me to leave, it is more than a pleasure for me to move on.’

The Togo striker, who left behind his family in Africa at the age of 15 to play football in France, said he is actually proud to have played for so many clubs around the world.

‘One day I will have a chance to return to my family, I can tell my children I played in Spain, in France.

‘There are only a few players who play in the same team all their career. You come from somewhere and go somewhere else.

‘As long as my career is on track and I have a green pitch and a chance to play football that is all that matters to me.’
